Bob McWilliams reviewed Aslan, Alien Module 1 for White Dwarf #65, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "For the most part I was not disappointed with Aslan ('Adventure

and Intrigue with a Proud Warrior Race'). Naturally I could have done with even more social and historical background than is provided, but what you get inside the folder-type cover is a 40-page booklet jam-packed with detail."{{cite magazine | last =McWilliams | first =Bob | title =Open Box | magazine =White Dwarf | issue =65 | pages =8 | publisher =Games Workshop | date = May 1985 }}
